I think I did it.

Well, nymFont had the free template on her site.
Check it, she's incredible.

I LOVE LOVE LOVED the date and comment balloons on the side.

And the background with the map actually kinda works.

Breathe.
No more big changes to the template for awhile.

Awhile is open ended, right?

Almost Lost It All

COM
Tried to upload new template.
Almost.
Lost.
Everything.

Lesson learned, be happy with what you got.
And.
I am.
:)

Tomorrow I'll reveal what happened to those christmas balls.
You're going to L.O.V.E it.

:) x 6 = Bertram Big Family News.
I DIED.

Jayne, I died.
I think I sat dumbfounded at the NE airport for like, ever.
I'm a deep faith kinda gal.
I believe that even as everything feels like it's unraveling, someone has it all together, a plan.

That being said.
Toddler Emerson will be welcomed with a kind of love she's only imagined.
Emerson Jayne, it's like she's been a part of your beautiful family since day #1.
And, I can assure you that, as an adoptee @ age 2…she'll know you as mom and Mr. Bertram as Dad.

Legitimately, I can't talk about it without either crying or screaming with excitement.

I think the only person who is possibly more excited than us, is LMG.
Who questioned me today like it was going out of style.
Favorite questions?:
"Do you remember when you were a baby?" 
Me: Nope
"Do you remember when you were 2?"
Me: Not really.
"Do you remember when you were a tween?"
Me: Hysterical Laughter.

"Do you think Emerson will know I'm her brother?"
Me: Absolutely.
"How?"
Me: Um….she'll just know.
"If you don't know, just say that, that you don't know."
Me: Okay.
"Okay."

"Do you think Emerson likes corn?"
Me: Probably?  Do you like corn?
"Um, on the grill, only."
Me:  That's probably how she'll like it too.
"She can't touch the grill, she's too little, though."
Me: Got it.

Home Again, Home Again :)

Beautiful Weddings make me almost consider having a wedding.
Almost.
Ha!
Poor, poor Mr. B had an earful about my beliefs this weekend.
He's a good sport.
I think fan fair-i-cal weddings are more a show for the bride and groom to say "Look at us, we really love each other, LOOK!"
Versus, what?  Just really loving each other!?
Ya' know?
Weddings don't need white ball gowns, expensive gifts or even dance floors…though, I'm not knocking dance floors.
But if two people love each other, I mean, unconditionally, ABUNDANTLY, love each other, I don't think a wedding is necessary.

See, I told you, Mr. B put up with a lot.
NOT to mention my OCD-ism around flying on a plane and staying in a hotel.
You thought preparing outfits, photographing them, heat washing and drying them, and putting them in sealed bags was bad!?
You.
Have.
No.
Idea.

I'd tell you everything I do, but you'd have me committed.

When I fly, I put my carry on inside a sealed plastic bag.  
When we arrive to our new destination, I take it out of the bag and throw that bag away.
When I stay at hotels, I sleep on the tile, bathroom floor.

Uggh.

If you've never experienced {bedbugs}, don't judge.
If you have, judge me openly.

*Sidebar on new header: I finally like…no….REALLY like my header, it doesn't incorporate the map that I've been holding onto for so long, but, it works.  That being said, I will be changing it up a bit to fit the holiday{s}, so bear with, the design will stay the same.
Want that paper and goodies used in my holiday header?
^Go "like" 'em on facbeook, get that kit FREE and fall in love with everything they offer!
